The official designation of the Nashorn („Rhinoceros“) tank destroyer was 8.8 cm PaK 43/1 auf Geschützwagen III/IV (Sf). The vehicle was designated the Hornisse („Hornet“) until 1944. Produced on the same chassis as the Hummel heavy SPG. The vehicle first saw combat on the Eastern Front in the summer of 1943. A total of 494 vehicles were manufactured.

The Nashorn is very similar to its predecessor, the Pz.Sfl. IVc. It has good mobility, and a fantastic top gun, while having very poor armor and being a relatively large target. Therefore, it should be played in the same fashion as the Pz.Sfl. IVc — staying at the back line in a sniping position, supporting teammates with its superior penetration and accuracy. In the end game, its increased hitpoints compared to its predecessor can be very useful.
